Hair Tattoos: This is How We Let Our Hair Shine!

What’s that shining in your hair? Last year, golden tattoos still sparkled on tanned skin, now they beautify the hair. We explain how it works.

What are flash tattoos?

Wherever you looked last year, flash tattoos in gold, silver and bronze were the body jewelry of the season. Now the shiny motifs are also worn on the hair. Whether for the next festival or the afterwork at the beach club – this accessory is definitely an eye-catcher.

Applying Flash Tattoos to your hair – That’s how it works

In general: Hair tattoos stick best on straight hair. Who tends to natural curls, should use a straightening iron before. After you have decided on a suitable motif, this is applied just like a fake tattoo on the skin. Remove the foil, lay the tattoo gently on the hair and press it on a little bit with a damp cloth – ready.

On dark hair the metallic nuances naturally work much better and are more visible, on blonde hair the effect is more subtle. Extra tip: Choose the colour of the hair tattoo to match the jewellery. This way you will have an all-round coordinated look. The outfit may be accordingly more inconspicuous. With the next hair wash the jewellery dissolves then by itself again. If you don’t want to wait that long, you can of course comb out the tattoo with your hairbrush.

Where are the tattoos available?

Flash tattoos are on everyone’s lips and therefore there is a large selection, especially online. For example via Blissany, for 20 euros.

The alternative: Hair Charms

If you have a tendency to curly hair and do not want to run the risk of destroying straight hair again with a damp cloth, “Hair Charms” offer a good alternative. They are available as stars, crystals or hearts and can be inserted into any hairstyle.

That’s how it’s done:

The small shapes are simply ironed into the hair with a straightening iron and thus last all day. At least if you do not reach for the hairbrush in between. Because: With combing or even washing the hair the charms say goodbye again.

You can buy this stylish hair ornament online, for example on Amazon. Normally the prices are between 10 and 15 Euros for a package.
